It works by playing a recorded narration, explaining what's happening on screen - during gaps in the dialogue - through personal headphones. The normal film soundtrack comes through the cinemas surround sound speakers in the usual way, so Audio description Most of our screens have either an infra-red or hearing loop system. Please click here to check the facilities at your local ODEON or ABC.

Films which are audio described will look and sound exactly like any other film - to access this facility, you would need to ask for a special AD headset at the box office. Using the headset, you would then be able to listen to the normal film soundtrack whilst a recorded narrator explains what's happening on screen, including gaps in the dialogue and sound effects. Caption subtitles are similar to English subtitles for foreign language films.

This means she has two copies of a gene that codes for an enzyme involved in glycogen storage; one copy is healthy, the other is defective. She can pass along either copy to her offspring with equal probability. (If the father is also a carrier, their offspring has a 25% chance of inheriting the disease, and a 50% chance of becoming a carrier.)

Once a brain tumor biopsy is examined by a pathologist, the tumor is categorized, or graded, based on its cell structure and rate of growth. There are different grading systems, but one that is commonly used has four grades. Grade I tumors are slow growing, with cells that are near-normal in appearance and are not malignant. Tumors with cells that are slightly abnormal are classified as Grade II. Grade III tumors grow quickly, contain abnormal cells, and spread to surrounding tissue.

USB audio means that you can use the Voice recorder as a PC Speaker and you can use it as a microphone to record directly into the PC using the USB cable.

What it doesn't mean is that the unit will speak to you. It does not. It will beep as you approach a turn if you're using DirectRoute. That's all. No spoken directions are given. Base maps come with the units and vary in size by model. Base maps are also used when the unit is zoomed out sufficiently. This can be disorienting - especialy on the models with 2MB basemaps - as a large number of roads will disappear when zoomed out.

XML is a standard that defines the structure of information, rather than the layout of text (like HTML does). WML is based upon XML, from which it derives its syntax. XML has a much stricter syntax than HTML, as you will learn when developing your own WML documents.

They meet as small-enrollment classes (about 20 students), in a format that emphasizes discussion and student participation, as opposed to lectures. Instead of tests, Honors College courses involve quite a bit of reading, analysis, discussion, and critical writing. There is a great deal of interaction among the students and between the students and professors.

These products have never been used, the only difference between the "New" and "New Open Box" is that the outside factory seal has been broken, due to cancelled order or mishandling during transporting from warehouse to warehouse.

The terms come from a paper by Richard Bartle called "Players Who Suit MUDs", specifically referring to MUDs (or multi-user dungeons, which were semi-precursors to MMORPGs).

A sour horse is a horse that no longer wishes to do what it is supposed to do. A horse can be described as "racetrack sour", it no longer enjoys being around the racetrack. The only solution is to give the horse some time away from the environment from which it is sour.

BCTS is more commercial than the small business program because of its focus on achieving more value for money on the expenditure side of the operation and increasing financial return on the revenue side. There is an emphasis on wealth creation from the opportunities provided through the program, rather than on job creation and other social objectives.

Sharp and soft refers to the shape of the grains irrespective of size. Sharp means an angular or subangular grain. Soft means a rounded or subrounded grain. Fine or coarse, on the other hand, refer to the grain size irrespective of shape, with coarse referring to a larger grain size, and fine a smaller one.

That means that the teachers plan activities for the children to engage in and that there is a daily schedule, as well as monthly themes. Every day children have the opportunity to have free play, circle time, story time, activity time, and meet with some of our specialists. What being teacher-directed means at Claremont is that the children do not engage in free play all morning. We believe that children like structure and like having adults plan activities for them to engage in.

Broadly speaking phono cartridges (the bit on the end of the arm with the stylus in it) come into two categories. Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC). Again broadly speaking MM cartridges have a much higher output than MC cartridges. MC cartridges are generally of a higher sound quality and a lot more expensive than MM cartridges.

quot;Generic" means that these tool-kits have been put together for use in a wide variety of organizational circumstances. They are intended for general use, and the purchaser must decide how best to adapt the use of the tool-kit to his own circumstances. This is similar to buying a tool-kit for car repairs: the tools are intended to be useful in most circumstances, but the user has to figure out exactly which tool or combination of tools to use to fix the problem.

Studios can contact WGBH to arrange for the creation of both the captions and descriptions. WGBH is home to The Caption Center and Descriptive Video Service, the world's most experienced captioning and description agencies.

It means that the disease is caused by a malfunctioning of the immune system of the body - the very system which also protects us from such unpleasant things as bacteria and cancer cells. The immune system works by producing antibodies (also known as immunoglobulins or lymphocytes) which attack and destroy many bad elements in the body, such as virus, bacteria, etc.. The problem is that sometimes this good defense system gets confused and starts attacking good cells.

Well apparently it has to do with something called gene expression, which refers to the pattern in which genes are switched on and off. And gene expression has a major effect on your body's biological processes. Each cell in your body contains a 'power-factory' that produces energy, called the mitochondria.
